Should Reading FC have an official anthem?

[Z175]

how about....

It was 9.39, on that day so fine
With the Mad Stad sound, rising out from the Ground,
The crowd were pumping, Mikel was jumping...
When the ball went in, we knew we could win

And the White, Blue, win or lose,
We're with you all the way,
We got a feeling this is gonna be our day.

And the match was on when they heard our song,
And if your with the Royals,
We know you'll sing along.

We sang one goal was needed, which Leigertwood heeded
And he found the net, which left the Royals set
Pearce cleared off the line, it was promotion time,
Showing Big Sam our arse, as we danced on the grass

And the White, Blue, win or lose,
We're with you all the way,
We got a feeling this is gonna be our day.

And the match was on when they heard our song,
And if your with the Royals,
We know you'll sing along.

Arse and grass doesn't rhyme in my world

That's good work.

I think we should stick with the original for history's sake though, and actually play the song right before games!

Where's star when you need them

I just tweeted STAR asking if there is any chance of a campaign to get Girdler's The Reading Anthem played right before games. We'll see eh.

I think we'd better of contacting the club ourselves to be honest.

Well, it won't hurt. Took two seconds. I'm treating it more as an experiment to see if STAR even reply to me TBH.

Contacting the club is on my list of things to do when I have time.

I sing this drunkenly in Y26 (on my own usually, much to the amusement of Friday's Legacy's kids) trying to get it going. Although it's better at away games when out on the lash in a group.
I think it would be a great anthem.

Imagine me and you, I do,
I think about you day and night, it's only right,
To think about the Team you love and hold them tight,
SO HAPPY TOGETHER!
OI! OI! OI! OI!

or just sing it in "do do do" or "la la la" styley.

Although we would be nicking it from them dutch fellows over the chanel.

That's a class singalong song for when you're pissed up Ben!

Harry, I'm gonna give it a week and let you know on here if I get a response from STAR. Let me know if you get a reply too.

Also i think this would be a better anthem because kevin girdler's anthem is a bit dated and not a classic. It needs to be a good sing along.

[Stuboo]

I like the "na na na na na, na na na na na, sing for the royals, na na na na na" part. Never heard it sung out loud, but perhaps it could work.

[harryroyal]

Are there any old songs related to Reading, for example forever blowing bubbles was from an old east end musical. Couldn't see the royals anthem being sung liek this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5daD7gjQUdo

[BenReadingFC]

haha you're that guy.

Have you seen me sing this then?

Fridays Legacy has 2 young daughters and they sit in front of me.
This is Friday http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=95zpzq&s=5 everytime

It would sound so good if all sung together. Hopefully will catch on soon if it keeps getting sung!

I have to say, that song does grow on you. Not on the kids though; they refuse to join in! They clearly have a soft spot for you both though, as they always ask if 'my drunk friends' will be there at the next game. I told them you were season ticket holders too, to which they said "oh no".
